HIGH TEMPERATURE ROLLERS TENMAT’s range of high temperature materials include world renowned composites

including FIREFLY and FEROFORM®. TENMAT’s roll cladding materials are tailored

to give outstanding performance in the most arduous environments, such as glass,

steel, and aluminium plants.

FIREFLY 1125 FIREFLY 1125 responds to the need of having an abrasion resistant cover which is tough, yet gentle to the steel strip. Only the highest quality mineral fibres are used to manufacture this top of the line refractory material. Steel works around the world are benefiting from using FIREFLY roller covering.

TENMAT’s proprietary composite material

FEROFORM F57 consists of a friction modified, cured phenolic resin matrix, reinforced with high performance and impact resistant Kevlar. FEROFORM F57 is used in a wide variety of high temperature applications, including rollers for aluminium hot rolling mills.

FEROFORM

TENMAT’s range of high performance

millboards include FIREFLY 800, a high purity, shot free material made with the most advanced extreme temperature resistant exonerated fibres. This shot free material is ideal for covering lehr rollers used in the glass industry.

GLASS ROLLERS TENMAT FIREFLY 800 millboard glass roll covering was developed over 25 years ago

specifically to replace asbestos roll cladding materials in the float glass industry. FIREFLY 800 millboard covered rollers are used in high quality glass production processes, such as float, flat, and vertical drawn.

More recently TENMAT material has proven successful also in demanding high volume

thin glass production lines.

TENMAT has an outstanding track record in producing covered annealing lehr rollers

with a life expectancy of typically 15 years or more. FIREFLY 800 does not mark the glass, avoids pick up of tin compounds, and is extremely long lasting.

The advantages of TENMAT FIREFLY 800 roller claddings include:

Improved glass quality

No marking of glass

No pick up of tin compounds

Long Life

Self cleaning properties

Lower maintenance costs

Dimensionally stable

Insulating behaviour allows constant lehr temperature

TENMAT FIREFLY 800 millboard is supplied as cut-to-size rings, and finished rollers.

ALUMINIUM ROLLERS As an expert in the manufacturing of advanced composites, TENMAT developed a

unique blend of high performance fibres to build an extremely tough and resilient material for the aluminium industry. FEROFORM F57 is the ideal choice for high impact applications, providing a long-lasting, maintenance free wear surface. This innovative material replaces old-fashioned steel rollers, which are infamous for scratching the delicate surface of the aluminium. In modern aluminium hot rolling mills, the quality of rolled aluminium is critical for successful use in applications ranging from aerospace to pharmaceutical. The surface finish of the rolled aluminium is dependent on the rollers. FEROFORM F57 covered rollers provide a durable, high temperature surface that protects the aluminium during the hot rolling process. The advantages of FEROFORM F57 include:

No marking of the aluminium

No pick up of contaminants

Maintenance free – no roller cleaning

Long life

High impact strength

Easy fit – simple replacement of steel rollers

FEROFORM F57 is successfully used by major aluminium manufacturers around the world, eliminating the need for grinding and regular cleaning of the production lines.

TENMAT FEROFORM F57 can be processed around your existing steel rollers.

Alternatively we supply stand alone full or split sleeves that simply slide onto your steel mandrel. Other applications for FEROFORM F57 in aluminium plants include sliding pads, bearings, and thrust washers.

STEEL ROLLERS FIREFLY 1125 cladding for steel rollers is made of a unique blend of high performance refractory fibres, designed to meet the extremely high temperature demands of the stainless steel industry. Red hot stainless steel requires special handling to avoid surface imperfections during the production of continuous strips.

TENMAT in collaboration with major steel works around the world has engineered a

solution to cover rollers, that is able to withstand the high temperatures of this arduous application and improving the overall quality of the steel.

TENMAT rollers are dimensionally stable, tough, resilient, and provide long life,

reducing the need for frequent and costly replacements. The advantages of rollers covered with FIREFLY 1125 include:

Durability

No marking of the stainless steel

Longer wear life

Lower change out frequency

Extreme temperature resistance

Cost effective

TENMAT FIREFLY 1125 materials is supplied in sheets, and cut-to-size rings, ready to

be installed onto existing rollers.
